    2019 2500 6.4L engine blown up at 95K miles?

    Not like the Mopar Lifetime Warranty is any better. I have a '16, sold as a work truck. The dealer orders them as work trucks. 36K and it blew. Mopar won't cover it because it's a commercial vehicle. What a load of horse$hit. Dealer was bought by another dealer and they won't stand...

    AGM battery upgrade question

    What brand battree? I'm on my second set of Odyssey's in my '14. Lots of short trips. I have AGM's in all of my trucks (gas, diesel, all brands) and tractors, loaders that are mostly used in the winter. They sit for long periods without being run. Put one in my wife's Jeep a month or so...

    AlfaOBD

    I haven't read the entire thread, but is it possible to change the amount of time the heated mirrors stay on using AlfaOBD?

    Looking to make the jump for Ford to Ram diesel looking for advise!!!

    6.4 was not a Ford engine. 6.7 has been quite reliable, especially when compared to the 6.0 and 6.4.

    Uneven wear on front tires

    You need to find a true alignment shop...not someone that can do a so-called alignment in 45 minutes...takes longer than that to set the vehicle and machine up properly.

    coolant fluid smell

    I had this on my Cummins since new. Used a very little bit of coolant over time, never any drips and nothing wet under the hood...ever. Brought it in for some recalls and the radiator was cracked. Previously someone had told me the new coolant vaporizes much easier than the old stuff so it is...

    New 2500 Tradesman with clunk/rattle

    Nah, it'll be an unannounced TSB. If someone comes in with the problem, they will (might) fix it. Otherwise they'll just hope people live with it.

    Heated Mirrors

    Has anyone either bypassed or increased the amount of time the heated mirrors remain on? 5-10 minutes is just ridiculous for those of us in snow country. There's no way they put off enough heat to melt anything, so that's not a valid reason either. Especially when it is snowing or cold, that...

    Blacklisted by Dealership

    Bought a 5500 that was "built for Kannada. Spent $2600 on repairing corroded DEF crap that should have been under warranty. FCA won't warranty it because it was allegedly built for Kannada, but they won't tell me what is different between a Kannadian and an American truck. So my question is, if...

    2016 Dodge Ram 5500 Brakes

    I know, but telling you to not load it heavy...axles or overall weight is just stupid. We put a 10' Boss DXT on ours. A Vbox spreader should be going on in a week or so. 3-4 tons of salt, it's going to be heavy. We'll see how the brakes work.

    Transmission debacle-2018

    Mine lingers in 3rd as well. One of 2 clutches that burned up. But I had 118k of towing and plowing on mine. Plus a BullyDog on the 3rd setting.

    2016 Dodge Ram 5500 Brakes

    Ask him to define "heavy". Then ask him what the GVWR and GCVWR is. Some of these mekanicks and service advisers are no more than trained monkeys. As bad as the idiot customer service reps for Comcast\Verizon\Sprint\AT&T, etc. First thing they want you to do is reset the modem. I already did...

    Tailgate lock recall notice

    Nope, my '14 2500 was supposed to have it but I replaced my tailgate a long time ago with one for a fifth wheel.
